By default this will save 1000 lines of history between sessions (it will prune the history file to 1000 lines at startup). For a different history size, pass the desired number of lines as the (optional) second argument to gnu-history-install-file-manager. If #f is passed in, no history-file-pruning will take place.

[procedure] (make-gnu-readline-port [PROMPT] [PROMPT2])

Returns an input-port that uses the GNU readline facility. If PROMPT is not given, the value returned by (repl-prompt) is used for generating the current prompt (see the Chicken manual for more details about repl-prompt). PROMPT2 is used when there are still unclosed parenthesis; if not given, an appropriate default is generated.

[procedure] (gnu-readline-set-bounce-ms TIME)

Changes the time that the cursor spends bouncing on the matching parenthesis - the default 500ms. To turn bouncing off completely, set to zero.
